From time to time, almost everyone who uses computers will need to transfer some files about computers for one reason or another. The general idea is to use a USB to perform this task. However, if you don't have one, don't fret. There are still other perfectly good ways to transfer files without USB.

Steps

Method1

Using email

1

Get your email account up. (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, it doesn't matter which, as long as you can attach stuff).

2

Attach the file you need to access onto the email. Send the email to yourself.

3

Hit send.

4

Check your mail. You'll see the e-mail, complete with attachment, in your inbox.

5

At another computer, anywhere in the world, open up your account.

6

Click the email, find the attachment, and click 'Download'.

Method2

Using online drives

1

Upload the document to an online drive, such as Google Drive. You can do this from your computer directly or from the email account.

2

Send the link to the uploaded document or file to yourself or to the other person who needs it. Ensure that you have given them permission to download it if it's from your drive (and if you're using someone else's online drive, ensure that they give you permission).

If using Google Drive, it will send the message as part of the "Share this file" arrangement.

3

Click on the link to the document in the drive. You, or the other person, will be able to open the document in the browser. It can be download it if wished.
